Holger Rune hilariously discussed Casper Ruud's jersey at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Ruud sported a red and white attire for his opening round match at the event, which left the fans confused as it was the same color as Denmark's flag. The Danish flag is red and white while Norway's flag is red, blue, and white.

Ruud dressed in a white and red t-shirt and shorts during his first-round match against Taro Daniel at the 2024 Paris Olympics. After the match, the two-time French Open finalist asked his fans on X (formerly Twitter) if he should add a hint of blue to his outfit.

"Should we try to add a little blue to this outfit for tomorrow?" Casper Ruud questioned.

Holger Rune commented on the post and urged him not to add blue to his jersey, joking that people might confuse Ruud with him.

"People might think I play anyway. keep it up with the Scandinavian wins (and the outfit)," Rune joked.

"I will follow the Olympics from home and cheer on all the Danish athletes and I hope and believe that we can bring home many medals from Paris. Come on Denmark."
